The Empty Stocking Fund is working to raise $15,000 to help at least 91 children in 61 local families celebrate Christmas this season.

“We decided to accept Empty Stocking applications one more day to give those who missed the first two days an opportunity to apply,” said organizer Vicki Forsyth. “We’ll take applications Thursday, Nov. 13, from 3-6 p.m. at the city fire station. Please bring proof of income or assistance for the household and Social Security numbers.”
